Man-made fibres tend to be sleek and crease-resistant

From a photo we can work out quantities and thusly a price per metre

If you have a rough budget, we know what brands to look at to meet that price point

We don't restrict the initial search by price, because if you find something you like then we can look for a cheaper alternative
